The major Japanese transport company, Willer Express, is interested in recruiting bus drivers from Uzbekistan. Willer Express is one of the leading operators in Japan's tourism and passenger transport market, covering an extensive territory from the north to the south of the country.

Onodera User Run, one of Japan’s largest companies in international personnel training and recruitment, is introducing this operator to the Uzbekistan market. A tripartite agreement was signed between Behzod Musaev, head of the Migration Agency under the Cabinet of Ministers, Hirayama Koji, and Kato Jun.

According to the agreement, a training system for bus drivers specifically for Willer Express will be established in Uzbekistan. Trained specialists will be provided with high-paying jobs in Japan. A modern training ground will be constructed in Tashkent for this purpose. It is planned to import right-hand drive buses from Japan for the practical training process.

This project is expected to open new opportunities for Uzbek drivers in the international labor market.
